Midterm Project


The issue I decided to do for my midterm project on is photojournalism and the demonstrations for racial justice. This has been a situation for a very long time. In the past there was slavery and people with different skin color would be abused and treated terribly. Now people are starting to stand up and fight for their rights. Photojournalists help us to the see the true colors behind these protests. There is nothing that is hidden and tweaked. These are things that are happening now at this moment. Photojournalism shows us truth not lies. The photos below are the photos I used for my Project.

This is what I created below. I wanted to use a camera as if it was the photojournalist. Then the pictures that were taken. The photos that are taken has color to show that photojournalists risks their lives and safety to take these photos. As well as show the true colors of the world that is not being shown or being even acknowledged.

Is Photojournalism Art?

Photo by: Bettman Image Source:   https://stacker.com/stories/4000/50-photos-american-life-19th-century Year Created: 1890 Is the image black & white or color? : It looks like they didn't have a choice to put color or black and white. It is good that it is in black and white you can see all the details that you wouldn't really see in color. What feelings does the image create?: This image made me feel happy. I love the beach I love seeing little kids running, laughing, and just having fun. What really grabbed my attention was the people on the right walking in the water. I think I looked at this photo more than 8 times and just enjoying the background, the umbrellas, and the water. Texture: I see two different textures shiny and wet. That is the water and it bring the feeling of reality at least to me. There could also be some rough on the sand with the seaweed.  Why did I choose the image?: I chose this image because it caught my eye. It has a vintage look and it rem...

Working in the Digital Age

     The digital photographic technology that I researched is the mirrorless camera. "A mirrorless camera is a type of camera that works without a reflex mirror. Light passes through the lens directly to the digital sensor, which then displays your image on the camera’s LCD screen, allowing you to adjust settings and preview your image before its shot ." In the article, Digital Camera World it says, "Many of the latest and best mirrorless cameras offer more than just megapixels." The mirror was to bounce light but since the camera doesn't have a mirror it is exposed to light. The Benefits of this camera is that it is easy to carry around, higher shooting speed, silent mechanism, image stabilization, and electronic viewfinder. Photo by Phil Ryan      In Professor Nordell's video, Latest Updates With Photographic Technology and Photojournalism , he says that mirrorless cameras are “smaller, they’re lighter, they’re quieter.” These cameras will be g...
